THE LION ROCK TROPHY (HANDICAP) (G3)
#7 Sky Jewellery can continue the strong record of favourites in this race and become the eighth market elect to win in its 10th running. Since resuming from a bleed, he has gone back-to-back in style and the hat-trick beckons. #6 Winning Ovation has a similar profile to Sky Jewellery as a progressive four-year-old who has returned from an enforced injury layoff in excellent form, winning three of four and placing a luckless second. The 1,600m is a fresh test for him. #1 Copartner Prance will find this a much easier assignment than recent starts, where he has not been beaten far behind the likes of My Wish and Ka Ying Rising. He will lead and give a good sight. #9 Patch Of Cosmo gets in as a lightweight chance and the return to the mile will suit.
